Below is the sermon synopsis for this coming Sunday, May 2nd. We hope to see you in person at either the 9:30 or the 11:00 (also on Zoom) service. The 11:00 service will be recorded and can be viewed on Facebook or on the website.
Scripture is John 15:1-8. Jesus affirms that he is the true vine, and God is the gardener. He uses a metaphor that is very familiar to Israel and likens his followers to be branches on the vine
The gardener cuts off every branch that bears no fruit.
The gardener prunes every branch that does bear fruit so that it will produce more.
The gardener tosses all branches that are not connected to the vine into the fire to be burned.
Apart from the true vine, the branches can do nothing, but if the branches remain in the vine, anything is possible.
Pastor John
